Custody has been creating a lot of buzz ever since it went on floors last year as it includes music by 'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraaja and Yuvan Shankar Raja, and their reunion for a collaboration once again after Vijay Sethupathi's Maamanithan has left fans super excited. The film also marks Venkat Prabhu's Telugu cinema debut and fans are looking forward to see him come out all guns blazing once again for his next big-screen theatrical treat after Maanaadu starring Silambarasan TR in 2021 and the 2022 adult black comedy Manmadha Leelai.
